Depends on the tune. The tuner can choose to use them or not.
most tuners will take advantage of the SI drive when they tune your car
In my personal experience I've always made sure that I keep the functionality of each of them. IMO a good tuner will have mappings for each of the settings usually using s# for the balls to the wall setting. Some tune out "I" all together but that isn't something I'd want. Each time I've had it done "I" was basically set to honda civic mode "S" the default to mode and good power and "S#" to hold on. I think depending on the tuner they can do anything you want with them.

Actually you can't. The SI-Drive is basically just an adjustment of the throttle dynamics.
With a full blown EM system like Cosworth ECPro you can do whatever you want with Si-Drive. That requires replacing the ECU.

For autocross, I did quite a bit of testing when I first got the car regarding DCCD settings. With my driving style, the combination of Auto-Minus, S#, and traction control off (yellow) was consistently good for about 1 second of time improvement on a 1-minute long dry autocross course over the other settings. This was after about 20 runs on the same course using different combinations of settings. Manual mode felt faster and was more fun because there was a bit more sliding around but that didn't translate into faster times.
You'll sometimes read in the magazines that some reviewers find the DCCD a big waste of time. While I wouldn't say that the differences between the auto settings are huge, they are measurable, and as you know, 1 second in autocross is an eternity.
Hope this helps and as usual, your mileage may vary.

now i'm confused, so with stock ecu and just a protune, the tuner just makes a map and has no effect on SI drive, if u want SI drive to not work u need a new ECU amirite?
Do you have any data to back this up? The way I see it, DCCD is not doing anything when you are just cruising on the highway.
My tuner explained to me SI-drive settings can have different throttle position curve (which we all know of course) and different target boost. Nothing else. In practive what this means for me is S# is my all-out performance tune, and S is the same everything, except for stock target boost, so as to be legal for STU-classing in Autocross. Not really 2 different tunes... more like 2 variants of the same tune.
